    PCAT is not required for admission into the UMES SOP PharmD program.  If you have any questions about whether the PCAT will help your application, contact the admissions coordinator at 410-621-2292 or rxstudentaffairs@umes.edu. However, we strongly recommend applicants with GPAs below 2.75 to take the PCAT to enhance their application. Examples of situations where applicants may wish to submit a PCAT score include but are not limited to those with: (1) a science prerequisite coursework completed more than 5 years ago especially in the absence of related experience or continued progressive academic achievements, and (2) a downward trend in academic performance.
